Chapter 903: Word of Mouth Lifted
Hearing this question, even He Jing nodded slightly and looked at Jiang Yuan.

In fact, after the filming was completed on the set, He Jing also asked Jiang Yuan the same question.

I am somewhat curious whether the answer Jiang Yuan will give this time will be somewhat different from before.

After all, people's ideas will change, and of course only Jiang Yuan himself can give the answer.

Under the gaze of the entire audience, Jiang Yuan pondered for a moment before raising the microphone to answer the question.

"There is probably no clear answer to this question for the time being." Jiang Yuan and He Jing looked at each other and said.

The audience was still waiting for further explanation. Jiang Yuan paused for a moment and continued, "Because there are still many factors that affect whether a series of movies can be launched."

"It includes things like whether this movie will be well-liked by everyone, and the subsequent story will also take time to prepare. It requires a lot of judgment to confirm whether there will be a sequel."

"It is precisely because of this uncertainty that there is no Easter egg at the end of the story." Jiang Yuan explained simply.

The fan who asked the question also expressed his understanding of this reason, and then asked, "So there is still hope for a sequel, right?"

"Of course there is hope. After all, who can predict the future for sure?" Jiang Yuan replied with a smile.

But in fact, at least in recent years, Jiang Yuan has not really considered the issue of movie sequels.

Indeed, as a commercial film, the box office performance of the entire Detective Chinatown series is definitely a very successful case.

But in terms of movie reputation, not every one of them has received relatively high reviews, including for the actors, there may not be much improvement.

At least for Jiang Yuan himself, he would rather shoot more movies that are more likely to win awards and pursue the value of actors during these years when he is rushing to complete tasks.

"Xiao Jiang and I have a similar opinion. Let's focus on the present. Some things will happen naturally." He Jing also added.

When "Detective Chinatown 3" had just finished filming, He Jing was not as calm as he is now when he asked this question.

He Jing had just finished filming this movie and had deep feelings for the movie. The next step was naturally to make it into a more famous series of movies.

However, as time goes by, He Jing has already had new pursuits, such as "The Wandering Earth" which is currently being prepared.

If it weren’t for the fact that “Detective Chinatown” had just been released, He Jing would have devoted all his attention to the new movie.

Of course, this obviously cannot be shared with the audience on site.

After answering this question, Jiang Yuan also looked at He Jing and signaled him to select an audience member in the audience to ask a question.

"The girl in the second to last row wearing a red scarf." He Jing searched the scene and finally selected an audience member who was wearing brightly colored clothes with obvious features.

"Hello, Director He Jing, hello to all the creators, I am very happy to be here at the premiere of this movie."

The person He Jing just picked out is also a senior movie fan. He raised his hand on the spot and it was obvious that he had made some preparations.

After sharing his own views on the movie, he raised his own questions at the end.

"I am personally very satisfied with this movie, so what I want to ask is more about the future cooperation direction between Director He Jing and Teacher Xiao Jiang, is that okay?" the fan asked in a low voice.

"Sure, go ahead and ask." Jiang Yuan nodded and looked at the other party.

"Because I really like this kind of movie with a combination of comedy and suspense elements, including Teacher Xiao Jiang's alter ego Omega, who is also a master in the suspense and mystery genre."

When asking questions, the other party also gave special praise, which made Jiang Yuan feel a little embarrassed and waved his hands.

"So I would like to ask, will your next collaboration still be in this direction?" the fan asked.

Hearing this question, Jiang Yuan touched his chin.

"I can only say that there should still be one, but if you are asking about the next work in preparation, it is not in this direction." Jiang Yuan thought for a moment and replied.

The audience was also somewhat surprised to hear Jiang Yuan's answer.

After all, I personally confirmed from Jiang Yuan that a new work was in preparation.

In order to prevent further questions from the audience, He Jing also raised the microphone at this time and added, "As for the news about the new work, we will announce it to everyone when we have made a certain progress."

What he meant was that he wanted the audience to stop asking questions in this direction.

After answering this audience member's question, another audience member immediately asked a question.

Because the event was limited in time, after five audience members asked questions, the host took control of the atmosphere and guided the interactive session to an end.

After the audience had finished asking questions, the movie premiere had basically come to an end.

Next comes the session which some media call an interview.

Jiang Yuan and other main creators moved again to answer questions from media reporters.

Before the movie started, everyone had already asked all the questions they had prepared, but after watching the movie, they obviously had a lot of new ideas to ask.

The complete premiere is still quite time-consuming.

We arrived at the cinema in the morning and it was already noon when we left.

After leaving the premiere, Jiang Yuan and others first selected a restaurant to solve the problem of lunch.

The studio had already made arrangements in this regard, saving Jiang Yuan and others the effort of figuring it out on their own.

"There should be quite a few viewers who have finished watching the movie by now, right?"

In the car on the way to the restaurant, Jiang Yuan asked He Jing.

As usual, He Jing has always paid close attention to the real-time situation after the movie is released.

Whenever He Jing is busy with roadshows or other events, his phone screen is basically filled with movie-related information.

"Yes, many people have already reviewed it. Maybe the movie ratings will be available on some ticket purchasing platforms this afternoon." He Jing nodded and replied.

The premiere lasted long enough for the movie to be shown twice.

Basically, the fans and moviegoers who rushed to watch the earliest show have already finished watching the movie by this time.

"How is it?" Jiang Yuan asked He Jing.

"I'm watching it. Let's read some of the latest reviews." He Jing said as he flipped through the latest reviews of the movie.

Hearing He Jing say this, Jiang Yuan felt relieved.

If nothing unexpected happens, everyone's comments should be relatively good. If it was a bad review, He Jing would not have such a tone, and would not read the comments at all.

"Okay." Jiang Yuan nodded to show that he was listening.

"After seeing Jiang Yuan's reversal in The Invisible Guest, I thought his future acting career might be in this direction. I didn't expect that he could play such a cute detective in this movie. He was so handsome when he was reasoning and analyzing."

He Jing directly picked out a longer review and began to read it aloud in the car.

Zhang Qing and others were in the vehicle, so the comment actually looked quite normal. But when He Jing read it out in a rather exaggerated tone, it became quite unbearable.

"Stop, stop!" As the person involved, Jiang Yuan quickly stopped He Jing from continuing to read aloud.

"Let me come and see it myself." Jiang Yuan reached out to He Jing and asked for his cell phone.

"Okay." After handing the phone to Jiang Yuan, He Jing still had an unsatisfied expression on his face.

This made Jiang Yuan quickly lower his head to avoid eye contact with He Jing. It seemed that He Jing would suddenly snatch the phone from his hand and score a second goal.

Jiang Yuan lowered his head and swiped across the screen of his mobile phone. He found that quite a few movie reviews had been accumulated by this time.

At this speed, just as He Jing analyzed, they should be close to winning.

After a quick glance, Jiang Yuan found that the ratings of these film reviews were basically between 8 and 10 points, so he started reading the reviews with confidence.

[That's great. I was worried that the movie's reasoning would be weakened by the addition of comedy, but after watching it, I can only say that everyone can go for it without worry. This is a movie that is more suitable for watching during the Spring Festival than last year's Jiang He's work! ]

[Very good, the narrative is smooth and everyone's acting is great. I have to praise Ye Xuanqi, she didn't have many scenes but she made great progress!!]

[Qin Feng's reasoning part, the special effects are so cool! ]

【After adding the comedy element, the chemistry is so good! 】

[Very good, the first movie of the new year, no disappointments. ]

[Although I can’t see the guests here, it’s still fine as a popcorn commercial film. ]

[It didn't meet my expectations, but I understand it now that it's the Spring Festival season. I'm still looking forward to the new collaboration between Jiang Yuan and He Jing. I hope the box office will be a big hit and they can earn more money for the next movie.]

-

Jiang Yuan scanned through the comments and read a lot of them. Relatively speaking, everyone's comments were quite fair.

Even fans who didn't like this movie very much didn't give it a bad review.

Of course, there are also some extreme negative reviews.

But as long as the number does not exceed a certain proportion, Jiang Yuan and He Jing are more acceptable to it.

The movie-watching experience is inherently subjective and personal. Even for classic movies in film history, people who don't like them will always give them all kinds of bad reviews.

"The situation seems to be pretty good." After a quick look, Jiang Yuan returned the phone to He Jing.

"Yeah." He Jing took the phone, leaned back in his chair, and his face was full of relief.

On the first day of the film's release, what He Jing cared about most was the reputation of the film, not to mention the impact on the box office performance if the reviews were really bad.

Imagining the scenario of word-of-mouth collapse, He Jing felt that even his own status would be affected, resulting in relatively large ups and downs.

As a filmmaker who looks for reasons in himself, He Jing is like this. When everyone thinks the film is not good, it is difficult for He Jing to deceive himself like some directors do and think that the audience does not meet the threshold for watching the film.

"Now we're just waiting for the scores to be announced in the afternoon." He Jing's tone was filled with anticipation.

If the rating can take the lead among all the movies, it will be very advantageous for the future development.

"Yes." Jiang Yuan nodded, and at the same time he started selecting photos on his mobile phone, preparing to synchronize the news of the end of the premiere with fans on Yuan Universe.

"Speaking of which, there should be news related to the premiere soon." At this time, He Jing also started to browse some short video apps.

He Jing put a lot of effort into publicity and promotion.

For example, after the movie premiere, some post-screening clips are good movie promotions in He Jing's opinion.

Especially with the popularity of short videos, some viewers may be tempted to go to the cinema just by seeing relevant clips from the scene.

In addition, some media and film critics also began to prepare their own reviews after watching the movie.

These factors can also have an impact on the box office performance of a movie.

Indeed, right after the premiere, a lot of promotional videos appeared on the Internet.

Noticing that the data for this type of video continued to rise, He Jing nodded with satisfaction.

Jiang Yuan updated some photos of himself taken at the premiere on Yuan Universe.

We all finished lunch quickly and started the first day of the movie roadshow.

Because it happened to be the Spring Festival, when we were preparing for the roadshow surprise, we also did it in the form of red envelopes.

Including the fans who came to the scene, some special activities were prepared because it was the Chinese New Year.

This made Jiang Yuan and others feel the atmosphere of the Spring Festival as they went through one roadshow after another.

This allowed everyone to maintain a relatively good mood during the process, and no one felt much tired until the evening when it got dark.

On the way to dinner, He Jing also got excited at this moment.

Jiang Yuan was not surprised at He Jing's behavior.

After starting the roadshow in the afternoon, He Jing basically remained in this state for the entire afternoon.

The growth of the movie box office has sparked several excitements. In addition, many film critics have given high praise to the movie, which has kept He Jing in a good mood.

And now, when He Jing suddenly got angry, Jiang Yuan and others did not react much.

However, when He Jing explained why he was set on fire, Jiang Yuan and others' attention was drawn to him and they all turned their eyes to He Jing.

"The scores are out!" He Jing held up his phone and just shouted this.

The word-of-mouth for the movie has finally been lifted, and everyone has been curious for the entire afternoon about what kind of score it will get.
